HE HIT THE MARK.

Speaker Carlisle struck the keynote Of
action during the present session of con
gress in the speech with which he as
sumed the chair in the house at Wash
ington yesterday. The matter is placed
before the country very deity but its
meaning is none the less unmistakable.
Revenue reform is the crying need of the
hour and it is at length realized that the
country is ripe to receive it.
Mr.. Carlisle shows very plainly that he
does not favor an immediate radical refor-
nation which would lead to the unset
ting of the manufacturing business
throughout the country. But what he
does favor, as does perhaps a large major
ity of his party outside of the purely
manufacturing districts, is such modifca-
ton of the tariff rates as will greatly re
lieye burthensome taxation.
Even the most clamorous advocates of
tariff reform realize that a capital opera-
ton is not suited to the exigencies of the
present case. While they feel that great
reductions must be made in the prevailing
import duties. they realize that these re-
auctions must not be so sweeping in char
acter as to u~nsettle business in its present
well defined channels, and thus cause I'M
told hardships to the working people.
In his speech, Mr.. Carlisle acquitted
himself of 4 very delicate duty with the
skill of a consummate politician and the
mental grasp of u broad minded states
man. While it is doubtful that any i'll
considered war will be waged against the
Randall faction, there is nevertheless ap.
parent an underlying determination to
squarely meet the tariff question and
bring it to a satisfactory solution.

THEY SHOULD PIE CiNCHED.

Two rs fine specimens of the genus pill
as have been recently developed in this
section are Foster and Elan, whose bust
ness seems to be to plan crimes for credu-
lous people to commit so that they may
obtain gold and glory at the same stroke.
In the investigation Of these two gentry,
the grand Jury is now confronted by the
most important duty which has been i'm
posed upon it during the present session
Of court. The avenue which it opens up
to investigation is a new one to judicial
affairs in this county, but it is full of the
most outrageous features that demand
searching investigation and prompt ac-
ton. The law provides safe abiding places
for men of the ingenious bent Of mind
of Elan and Foster, and since the recent
repairs to the steel cages at the Laramie
county Jail we know of no ~receptacles that
are at least more handy for the purposes
indicated.
Besides the annoyances to which the
direct principals to these suits have been
submitted, these so-called detectives have
summoned many witnesses-all of them
poor men, who have actually been forced
to run into debt for the questionable
pleasure of being compelled to dance at
tendance upon court.
This investigation will prepare the pub
lie to favor a further step-if they do not
already favor it. We refer to the repeal
of the law which now eompels the county
commissioners of this county to
pay $225 per month to two
stock inspectors. This is a luxury the
burthen of which the people of this coun-
ty should no longer be compelled to bear.
If the stock association wishes to continue
this recreation it is their blessed privilege
to do SO, but it should be done by passing
around the hat among their own mem
bers without folsting any of the financial
responsibility onto taxpayers who have no
direct interest in the stock business.
An investigation of this subject will
lead up to Others just as pregnant with
interest and cause the elimination OF sew
eral laws which are now a burning disgrace
and shame to our statute books.
The LEADER will be heard very much
to the point on these important subjects
when the proper time arrives.

Special dispatch to The Leader.
LARAMIE CITY, Wyo., Dec. AT 4
o'clock this morning an accident happened
one half mile east of Harper station to
the westbound freight train, of which
Chas. Gardner is engineer and Dan Davis
conductor. The train broke in two. A
call was sounded for brakes, which quick
" brought the first section to a halt. The
second section ran into the first section
with a crash. Conductor Davis was sit
ting on a brake on the rear car of the
second section. The collision resulted in
telescoping the two platforms and fright
fully fracturing Davis LETT knee. The
train was taken to Harper, where an
engine and caboose were started for
Laramie with Davis. 1t was here decided
to send him at once to the Denver hos.
pital for treatment. An engine and
caboose left here at ll:l0 O'Clock, with
instructions to make Cheyenne in one
hour and thirty five minutes. 1t is ex-
pected that Davis will lose his leg. but
that his life will be saved.

night to Rawlins. He will foreclose Il

II we are to believe ancient writers, con-
tinues La Nature, a large number of giants
and giantesses have reached statures that are
extraordinary, even for this class of persons.
Piny speaks of giant named Gabara, who
was 0M feet in height, and two other giants,
Posio and Secundilla, who were half q foot
taller The young female giantess cited by
Garopius was, according to him, 10 feet II
inches in height. According to Lecat, there was
once a Scotch giant who was 12H feet in
height; but it seems probable that the heights
attributed to these various giants are greatly
exaggerated. On the contrary, we can con-
slider statements of heights of from 81 to 81
feet as authentic.
In l755 there was exhibited at Rouer q
giant 81 feet in height. A Swedish peasant
mentioned by Button was 81 feet in height,
and this too was the stature of the Finnish
giant, Cujanus; and the King of Prussia,
Frederick William, had a guard of nearly the
the same height. The giant Gille, of Trent,
in the Tyrol, was over 81 feet in height,
and this was the stature of one of the
guards of the duke of Brunswick. The
giant WinckeImeler, who is now exhib-

height, may be taken, then, as an example of
the highest stature reached in the human
species. At the opposite extremity, we find
a large number of dwarfs cited as having
been less than twenty inches in height. Some
of these are said to have been but sixteen or
even twelve inches but such dwarfs have
been but monsters with atrophied legs or
with O curved spine, or children whose de-
| velopment has been arrested and whom their
showmen aged by some years. The famous
| Gen. Tom Thumb was an example, as are
| likewise the Royal Midgets, recently exhibited
| at Paris, and the little Princess Paulina. But
| il, in the long list of dwarfs of whom descrp-
| ton has been preserved, we search for the
| smallest, even after it had reached an adult
age, and one that at the same time possessed
O normal conformation, we shall find one
especially that merits particular attention.
We refer to the celeh-ated dwarf Borulaw-
sky, who was born in 17S9 and died in 1881,
and never was over 20 inches in height He
was perfectly well formed; his head was well
proportioned; his eyes were beautiful and
full of fire; his features were handsome, and
his physiognomy was intellectual and por-
trayed the the gayety, politeness and refine
ment of his mind. He was straight and well
formed, and his knees, legs and feet were Of
the exact proportions of those of well built
and vigorous man. If we take mean be-
tween these two extremes, the giant Winckel

THE FINE NEW STEAMSHIP PocA-

Same Of the Reasons why 1t viii Be
One Of the Fastest Boats Anoat, IL Not
the Fastest-Great Expectations Of Her
Projectors.
An American steamship is building which,
in addition to being a purely American pro-
duct, designed by an American, built by
American method, without an ounce of
foreign material in her composition or dol
lar of foreign capital invested in her, promises
to revolutionize ocean steam navigation.
This ship is to be called the Pocahontas, a
glorious old American Indian name that will
mako the hearts of Virginians-who are all
descendants of Pocahontas--glow with pride.
She is to be built in Virginia. too-at Alex
andria, dear, sleepy old town of the past. Her
future, as forecast by her engineer and inven-
tor, Mr.. Robert NJ. Fryer, and many others
who are interested in her. is most promising.
She is to be ON ocean carrier that cannot be
sunk or burnt; that can cross the Atlantic IN
less than six days with absolute safety ana
unexampled speed, and afford to passengers
such luxurious comfort as will make sea
yoyaging dream of delight.
The Arrow Steamship company have the
Pocahontas under their wing, and they pro

Stripes floating above her before the snow flies

BOAT IN THE DOCK.


The boat is 100 feet long, with IL feet beam
and 160 tons displacement and engines for
$50 horse power. It can be sunk in few
moments to a depth of fifty feet, remain
under water nine hours and progress there at
maximum speed of ten knots per hour She
carries fish torpedoes at the bow and two
Nordenfeldt quick firing guns on top-on
what may by courtesy be called the deck.
And with all this can carry coal enough for a
sail of 900 knots on the surface. But all the
force for an under water run must be stored
up before the sinking; and she has q storage
capacity for steam that would propel her
fifty miles under water without once rising to
the surface. But it is not claimed that any
such under water stretch is practicable; il, for
no other reason, the imposSibility of seeing
ahead would prevent it, as the boat must
come to the surface from time to time to cor,
rect her course. She can be sunk, however,
till nothing remains above water but the lit
tie glass cupola on top; with his head in that
the captain can observe the enemy and di
rect his boat with certainty, while so little OF
the craft shows that the sharpest eyed look
out man would not see it many yards away
In fact, this Nordenfeldt boat can really ap
proach hostile vessel unseen, which the or
dinary torpedo boat can rarely do.

SUBMERGED, SHOWING MACHINE GUNS.
When ready to attack, the water is admitted
into the prepared compartments till the
screws on the upper part of the sides are un-
der water; these screws act vertically, and SO
few revolutions on them sink the boat rap
idly, after which they are revolved slowly to
keep her down. When their motion is stopped
she rises at once by her own buoyancy. So
the boat can ride the water surface like any
other, or move forward submerged till only
the glass cupola projects, or go fifty feet be-
low the surface and travel some distance
there
